Bad luck plagues him, he refuses to become a Kamen Rider.

"Ha, I keep saying I'm not worried about the future, but I can't do it right now."

Barely convincing himself, Guihu found a comfortable spot, and the three of them snuggled up in the van and fell asleep.

In the still of the night, only the Gurongi bats cried out hoarsely in the soundproof room, but no one paid any attention.

Chapter 61 The Aftermath of the Arson Case

With the bat Gurongi imprisoned, Guihu and his two companions returned to their normal lives.

Even though her current salary is far higher than what she earned in [Summer], Yuuki has not given up this job.

夜

Moving between tables, Youxing quickly placed the grilled meat from the food cart onto the table, then dashed off to the next table.

The guests at this table surprised Yuuki somewhat.

"good evening."

Guihu greeted Youxing with a smile, while a girl sat opposite him.

It was the girl they had rescued last time, Tsukishima Yuzuki.

Hello, senior.

Yuzuki slightly raised her head and greeted Yuuki.

Yuuki didn't take a close look that day at school, but today he looked at her carefully and realized that Yuuki was much more composed than before.

"Yuuki, hurry up!"

Manatsu's voice came from the kitchen window. Yuuki looked away and gave an apologetic look.

"Let's talk later!"

After quickly replying to Guihu, Youxing ran off and served the barbecue from the food cart to the other guests.

Guihu and Yuzuki looked at Youxing, who had disappeared into the crowd, and smiled at each other.

"I never expected that Senior Yuxing would be this kind of person in private."

Yuzuki felt a pang of emotion. She had seen Yuuki in battle, and she had also seen Yuuki in confrontation with others. The indifference and madness in that state made her feel afraid.

But she had never seen Youxing as she usually was.

"Actually, the more you get to know him, the more you'll find that he's just an ordinary person with his own joys and sorrows, and his own friends."

Recalling his first meeting with Yuuki, Guihu found it hard to believe that the alien was now such an ordinary "boy".

"It's just that this guy's personality can be a bit nasty at times, and he always has a wicked sense of humor."

Guihu told Yuyuki some of the information about her, which made Yuyuki laugh.

"how?"

While Wu Daogui was still wondering, a pair of hands were placed on his shoulders.

He turned around and met Yuuki's threatening eyes.

Caught red-handed talking badly about someone, Guihu chuckled dryly and quickly patted the seat next to him.

"Come and sit down. This matter happens to be related to you."

"what's up?"

Since Manatsu doesn't need his help for the time being, Yuuki sat down and asked during this break.

"Do you remember that time we went up to the fifth floor? That burning incident that involved you."

As soon as Guihu mentioned it, Youxing immediately remembered.

It was from that time that his attitude toward becoming an alien began to waver.

"I have recently come to know some of the people who revealed this information."

The rest of the conversation was filled in by Yuuki, who hadn't expected that this girl would actually help him investigate the matter.

"Last time, things happened so suddenly that I didn't finish talking with Yuzuki, so I invited her here for dinner today and took the opportunity to tell you about this."

After listening, Yuuki looked at Wu Dao Guihu with disdain.

No, Yuzuki is still in high school, right? What are you doing here, old man?

Guihu was speechless. Before he could even retort, someone spoke up for him.

"Actually, Mr. Guihu is very handsome and very polite."

Yuzuki naturally noticed the exchange of glances between the two, and she half-covered her face to defend Guihu.

Yu Xing sighed.

"Let's not talk about that. Let's talk about that fire instead."

Getting back to the point, Yuzuki became serious: "I found the person who spread this news; it's a classmate from Class 1 of the first year of high school."

“But when I asked him specifically, he told me that someone had told him to do it, otherwise his whole family would die a violent death.”

Yu Xing's gaze sharpened as he looked at Gui Hu, who nodded at him: "Don't worry, I've already had people protect him and his family."

Upon hearing this, Yuuki took the tea in front of Takato and drank it all in one gulp.

"Are they in cahoots with the people behind that Bat Gurongi guy?"

After finishing the tea, Youxing felt a bit more awake, and he asked again.

"It doesn't seem like that; rather, it seems like they're deliberately revealing their identities."

Guihu never expected that the small city of Zeya would be so full of hidden talents, with several forces vying for power here.

He released several photos, some of which were blurry, but Yu Xing still managed to spot the woman in black and red in them.

"This person..."

"It's the one you told us about before."

Takatora looked at Yuuki with a heavy gaze: "Unknown life form B1, Baruba!"

"But she just showed up and watched us from a distance, without doing anything concrete."

These were all discovered near the protected area, and it's hard not to speculate about what Baruba's purpose was.

"If she is the person behind this, why would she spread this information?"

Yu Xing leaned back in her chair, lost in thought, and stroked her chin.

"Perhaps we can go and ask her in person."

Yuzuki's sudden words startled Wu Daogui, who slammed his hand on the table in displeasure, warning Yuzuki, "This isn't that weak student you used to be; you can't handle him at all!"

"That guy almost hurt you with a knife, do you really want to show off and fight a monster?"

Baruba's strength is unclear, and Guihu doesn't dare to approach her casually. If she shows any intention to make a move, it would be tantamount to suicide for them.

"I actually think this could work, if that's how she's going to make me remember things from the past..."

After thinking for a while, Yu Xing could only come up with this one possibility.

"Could it be a debt you owed in the past? Now that they've come knocking on your door, you might as well give in."

Gui Hu's mind works incredibly fast. Ever since he met You Xing, he's had a different piece of gossip to hear every day.

"Go away! Do you think I'm that kind of person?!"

Yuuki nudged Guihu and rolled her eyes.

"It's probably because I made some promise to her in the past, otherwise she wouldn't have chosen to appear at this time."

Yuuki also wanted to meet her. When Baruba said she wanted to integrate into humanity, did she achieve her wish?

"No rush, let's eat first. If you want to see her, it'll be tomorrow. She usually only appears in the early morning."

Guihu pointed to the roast meat in front of him. They had ordered a meal but hadn't even started eating yet; everyone was here discussing business.

"You guys eat, I have things to do!"

Yuuki glanced between Takato and Yuzuki, gave a wicked grin, and decisively left.

"This guy..."

Yuuki vanished without a trace, and Guihu's hand stiffened slightly before he looked at Yuzuki.

Without Yuuki's presence, Yuzuki was no longer as calm as before. She tightly intertwined her hands and dared not look up at Takatora.

"Let's eat. You're still a child, don't think so much."

A hint of helplessness flashed across Guihu's eyes; he truly didn't mean it that way.

As someone approaching 25, he prefers someone more mature and stable.

"it is good!"

Yuzuki agreed and quickly started eating. Guihu and Youxing chatted for a while and were also a little hungry. After Yuzuki started eating, he followed suit and ate heartily.

"It seems that Miss Yuzuki is interested, but Mr. Takatora doesn't mean it that way."

Not far away, Yuuki met up with Manatsu, who was hiding in the shadows, and Manatsu was commenting on the matter with great interest.

"Let's go, there's still a lot to do at the shop, it's time to hire a couple more helpers!"

Yuuki forcibly dragged the reluctant Manatsu away, and the two continued working until 11 p.m.

After saying goodbye to Manatsu and Miwako, Yuuki stood there, staring blankly at the moon in the sky.

He remembered that it was a night like this when he first became an Otherworlder and easily killed another Otherworlder. Now, was it a misfortune or a stroke of luck?

Seeing that Yuuki hadn't moved, a car slowly drove up to Yuuki, who was still in a daze.

"Stop daydreaming, get in the car!"

Guihu rolled down the car window and tilted his head.

"it is good."

Guihu's voice startled Youxing awake. He opened the car door and got in. Guihu was still talking: "You really have nothing better to do than admire the moon."

"I'm so busy, it's awful!"
